@TaxmanHog I'm curious if you have decent stats on number of days it's been taking for shipping to the SW US, Phoenix specifically, but even SoCal or NM would give me a decent idea. My MME is going to it's new owner today, and I'm in a rental car until my truck arrives. Salesman is useless other than we know it was in Chicago on Friday. I need to know how long to reserve the rental car.

Arrivals at ramp CA1P then onward to the dealers run 12 to 37 days, this was from a sample of trucks in my 2022 Autotrader research. Overall count on 21 days, that high number could have been a delinquent final mile convoy ride.

Good luck!

Those still under watch.

My plumber is back at my house today doing some final touch ups. I talked him into ordering a lightning AFTER my blend date. He's picking his up this weekend and I'm grumpy about it, but at least mine is on it's way. WTF is going on with Brewer's and Fleet's?

Great question. Nobody seems to be able to answer that question for me. Almost 3 months since it was allegedly built per the dealer...

My truck is off the train! I can probably grab some binoculars and go look at it in the train yard. The dealer said they probably still won't be able to get it to the lot this weekend. Looks like I'll be taking time off work to get it next week.

I have given up. When chatting with ford customer service, I am getting the same response. I am trying to track use fordpass but activation is still pending. I am now hoping to have by turkey day (using a far out milestone so I don't go insane...).

Order another one. Maybe it'll arrive first.

Not sure when it happened, stopped checking the window sticker daily when I took delivery, but my window sticker on the www.windowsticker.forddirect.com site has been updated to reflect the actual MSRP. Honestly, I have not even looked at the actual window sticker, the dealer put it in the glovebox.

They must have updated this overnight. Mine was at the higher price yesterday. Refresh today after reading your message and it dropped. Interesting that the number produced for the week adjusted. I was 675/696, now 399/488

Dealership just called. Guess who's truck is on the lot!

Awesome news, periodically the MOCO re-sequences the windows stickers codes and they stripe off the blend date, at the bottom you can see the date this process was run 10/27/2023 in your trucks case.

Interesting. When I pull my sticker it still has me at 261/696.

Correct your and @Brewer14 stickers have not been resequenced.

I called my dealership on Friday. They told me their system said the truck had been delivered but they would confirm and call me back. No call back, and when I finally called them back at the end of the day they confirmed my truck was still in Michigan. Standard gut punch at this point. They reached out to their Ford rep for further info and hopes they would get it escalated to an inventory specialist in Michigan. No movement on the tracker and no more info from the dealer. Wondering why we participate in this circus...
